Little White Lines

(Intro - spoken word with tense strings)
“ Why the fuck did I do this to myself again? I fuck everything up.”
“Why is this so hard? It’s just too much.”

(Verse 1)
Packed the bags, told myself it’s the last time
Threw the pills down the sink, drew a hard line
Three days clean, I can feel my heart beat
Looking in the mirror, standing on my own two feet
But the air feels thin and the walls are closing in
And a whisper says "where have you been?"
It’s my old friend, I can feel you pulling me in
I can’t resist the pressure I feel within

(Chorus)
And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs
Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs
It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream
Trying to swim in a frozen stream
Round and round, the cycle brings me low
Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go.

(Verse 2)
Can’t count the fingers on my own hand
Texts from you that I don’t understand
Said I’d meet you there, and I’d be okay
But I’m too fucked up to even show up late
I’m fighting with demons whispering lies
Rewriting my brain like it’s plagiarized
Filled with little white lines, all through my mind 
Strategically working to keep us tied 
So Please just see, stop counting on me

(Chorus)
And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs
Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs
It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream
Trying to swim in a frozen stream
Round and round, the cycle brings me low
Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go.

(Bridge)
They say one day at a time, I’m being devoured
I can’t fight the urge and I lost my power
I close my eyes, and I’m back at the start
Everything inside of me is falling apart
Im losing hope that I can make it out 
Think I took a left turn on the wrong route 

(Breakdown)
Ohhh And I’m falling again, down the same old stairs
Trading my soul for a moment that never repairs
It’s a broken promise, a shattered dream
Trying to swim in a frozen stream
Round and round, the cycle brings me low
Trying hard, but I don't know how to let go.

(Outro)
It’s taken over everything I know
Makes me feel more myself than home
The hardest part is trying to let go
When it’s all you’ve ever known
